The new team will be headed up by Hayden Paddon and will run in parallel to the Hyundai Shell World Rally Team for the rest of the 2015 season. We are also delighted to give our test driver Kevin the chance to take part in some WRC events this year and he will also run under the Hyundai Mobis World Rally Team name. We currently plan for Kevin to take part in four events during 2015 in a fourth car, with a precise schedule still to be defined. While Thierry and Dani will rally for the Hyundai Shell World Rally Team, as they did in Monte-Carlo, the second team will allow some of world rally’s rising stars the chance to showcase their talent on a competitive stage, something we as a WRC manufacturer take very seriously.”</SPAN></P>
